Otago Rural Support Trust chairman Gavan Herlihy was "blown away'' to receive handmade cards from school pupils to be distributed to farmers affected by Mycoplasma bovis.
Members of the Young Vinnies at St John's School in Ranfurly were to be congratulated for the caring gesture, Mr Herlihy said.
It was a very stressful time for those affected and he expected receipt of the cards - which he was distributing on the pupils' behalf - would be both treasured and appreciated.
